He was convicted and sentenced to five months behind bars, with judges saying there was no reason to find his actions, back in May 2017, were right or could be forgiven.

Carr, from Adelaide, supported in court by his father, read from a prepared statement when asked if he wanted to make a personal statement.

'Sorrow and regret'

“As I stand here before you all today full of sorrow and regret I would like to reiterate my deepest and warmest apologies to the victim, his family and anyone affected by my abnormal behaviour," he said.

“I was fortunate last week to have the victim come to court and meet for the first time since the incident.

"I did not know how he was going to react. To my surprise and relief Wayan (the victim) was altogether forgiving, humble, sympathetic towards me and my present situation.”

Carr reiterated what he has said since the day of the bizarre rampage, that he has no memory of what happened when, shortly before dawn on August 10 - on the first day of his Bali holiday - he dramatically fly-kicked a motorcyclist from his bike on a busy road, jumped onto the bonnet of a moving car and invaded a home, terrifying residents, before he was arrested by citizens.

“In truth the events of that night are a total mystery to me, mainly because it is so out of character to behave in such a way, secondly, because I have a total mental blackout of the events," Carr said in his statement.

“All I have as a memory are the scars on my body and most significantly my mind. Indeed I will be mentally scarred for the rest of my life.”

'All I have as a memory are the scars on my body and most significantly my mind.'

He extended thanks to the local people who had helped him through the case.

“I have been humbled by the kindness and treatment received during this difficult time as many local people have supported and guided me through this without judgment.

"I appreciate the work of the police, investigators, prosecutor during this ordeal.

"I truly hope that you are able to see the real me as I stand before you today. Thank you, terimah kasih.”

Wayan has already testified at the trial, telling the judges that he harboured no revenge toward Carr who had paid for a new motorbike for him, for medical expenses and compensated him for lost wages after he couldn’t work.

'No hard feelings'

The pair embraced in court last week and Wayan declared there were no hard feelings.

Carr faces only one charge of assault - on Wayan - after reaching peace agreements with other victims involved in the bizarre morning.

The home owner, whose house was invaded, did not make a police statement against him.

In recommending a four-month sentence, prosecutor Made Gede Bamaxs Wira Wibowo, told the judges that Carr’s actions had caused restlessness in the community.

But he submitted that in mitigation Carr had no criminal record, there was a peace agreement with the victim and he had compensated the victim with a new motorbike and covered his medical treatment, admitted his guilt and felt remorse.

“Based on many considerations we as the prosecutors in this case demand the judges to find the defendant Nicholas Carr guilty of assault ... and sentence the defendant to four months imprisonment minus the detention period that has been served,” the prosecutor submitted.
